+## Small hack entries
+
+Here is a list of small hacks, which can serve as entries into the Hurd code for
+people who would like to dive into the code but just lack a "somewhere to begin
+with".
+
+* Make pfinet OK with the ethernet device going away. This would be a very
+nice feature: being able to just restart the ethernet driver; we've just not
+taken the time to fix it yet, but it shouldn't be very hard. The code begins
+at `hurd/pfinet/ethernet.c`, `ethernet_open()`, the `device_open` call, which
+produces `edev->ether_port`. Basically, one needs to catch errors like EIEIO
+when using it, and in that case re-open the device.
+* Add a futex kernel trap to GNU Mach. This can be useful for nicer locking
+primitives, including inter-process primitives. `vm_allocate` can be used as an
+example in the `gnumach` source tree for how to add a kernel trap. [[!GNU_Savannah_task 6231]]
+* Add a `task_set_name` RPC to GNU Mach. Currently the Mach
+debugger keeps `arg[0]` from the stack with ugly heuristics (see
+`gnumach/i386/i386/db_interface.c`, `looks_like_command`...). It would be
+far better to let `exec` simply set the name and record it in `task_t`.
+`thread_create` can be used as an example in the `gnumach` source tree for how
+to add an RPC. glibc needs to be recompiled against the updated mach.defs to get
+access to it from userland. exec would probably call it from `hurd/exec/exec.c`,
+`do_exec()`.
+* Write a partfs translator, to which one gives a disk image, and
+which exposes the partitions of the disk image, using parted, and
+the parted-based storeio (`settrans -c foos1 /hurd/storeio -T typed
+part:1:file:/home/samy/tmp/foo`). This would be libnetfs-based.
+* Write virtio drivers for KVM. Ideally they would be userland.
+* Port valgrind. There is a whole
+[[GSoC proposal|community/gsoc/project_ideas/valgrind ]] about this, but the
+basic port could be small.
+* Use libz and libbz2 in exec. See `hurd/exec/unzip.c` etc., they should be replaced by mere calls to libraries, [[!GNU_Savannah_task 6990]]
+* Add `/proc/$pid/maps`. `vminfo` already has this kind of information, it's a matter of making procfs do the same. [[!GNU_Savannah_bug 32770]]

-There are differences betwen the [Debian Free Software Guidelines](http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines) (DFSG) and [Free Software](http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) as defined by the Free Software Foundation. The FSF's GNU project is the sponsor of the GNU/Hurd project. Debian GNU/Hurd is a "port" or distribution of this software. I have not yet performed a comparison between the list of acceptable DFSG licenses (if a list exists) and the acceptable Free Software [license list](http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html). (Perhaps not directly related but for reference, here's the Open Source [license list](http://www.opensource.org/licenses/index.html))
-
-What will this consist of? In the end the result will need to be simply a list of packages with their license marked next to them. This will be relatively simple for those packages that use a standard license. Software that has it's own custom license will need to be categorized.
-
-I am thinking of ways to automatically check the licenses and to get lists of the various "Priority:" packages. I thought this list of package names would be easy to obtain. The first step is getting the list of packages. This is possible by parsing /var/lib/dpkg/available, using dpkg or using apt-cache.
-
-The next step is checking the licenses of the packages. There is no dpkg package field available for license. A script that checks licenses will involve using "apt-get source" to check the COPYING and/or similar files in each package.

-Once there take the profile and start bootstraping portage and all the

-The major problems are:
-
-- combine the perfect gcc/binutils/glibc/gnumach/hurd and to be able to boot
-- lack of development on gnumach/hurd and current 'degraded' status.

-It is our wish and goal to establish a new direction for the GNU system distribution. To that end, this page will begin setting some direction. This was spawned by several discussions over a few days on the Hurd mailing lists and IRC.
-
-This is not intended to detract from Debian GNU/Hurd and we should help them where we can.

-
-These are just some quick notes I am making late at night. Let's clean this up.
-
-## <a name="Motivations"> Motivations </a>
-
-1. There is a possibility that Debian drops support for GNU/Hurd.
-2. Other GNU/Linux distributions do not support the Hurd infrastructure well.
-3. Benefiting from the Hurd design and using a microkernel.
-4. Freedom.
-
-## <a name="Community"> Community </a>
+ * [[mailing_lists/gnu-system-discuss]] mailing list
-1. Let's establish some ground rules.
-2. We need infrastructure
- * Wiki for community documentation
- * Mailing lists like gnu-system-discuss exists for mostly technical items
- * IRC channels like #hug and ##hurd
- * Perhaps less formal and less intimidating channels and mailing lists would involve broader parts of the community
-3. We need a community vision and direction.
- * Let's work together for a common goal
- * Let's establish goals and priorities and get resources on them. (More later)
- * Major goal to create a system making full use of Hurd features?
- * We should never hesitate to throw away existing stuff whenever it hinders us to make good use of Hurd features
- * However, we should try to reuse existing stuff (from Debian for example) as long as it doesn't limit our possibilities or impose considerable overhead
- * Let's have fun. It's GNU and it's important but let's enjoy ourselves.
## Download
- * Official GNU snapshot <http://www.update.uu.se/~ams/GNU>
* Extended GNU distribution <http://i-hug.sarovar.org/downloads/GNU/extended/>
-## <a name="Tools"> Tools </a>
-
-1. Developer Needs
- * RPC Trace
-2. Installer
- * Native installer would be preferred but we can bootstrap GNU/Linux for now if necessary
-3. Package Management
- * There is a proposal to use stowfs. Let's get this going and test it out. Can it be made to work? How long will it take?
- * Repository for packages
- * Probably we can host it on the GNU servers
- * Bug / Issue tracking
- * Probably we should set up a Savannah project
- * How to handle experimental patches to the core packages (Hurd, Mach, libc etc.) that are not in official CVS yet?
-
-## Resources
-
- * [[Universal_package_manager]]
- * How to [[set_up_GNU|setup]] and archiver for GNU
- * [[Create_an_image]]
-
-## <a name="Todo"> Todo </a>
-
-1. AMS had made a GNU release. We can try it and test it to good use. We can fix broken things in it, and enhance it.
- * The snapshot is very old. Probably better to build something from current stuff, even if it means more work
- * ams said that he would like to get a new snapshot out that would be on a Live CD and using stowfs. I think what we need to do is start using/fixing GNU System Creator (GSC) to build packages for this effort.
-2. GNU is all about freedom AND ease of use. So, given installers are by nature quite complex, how should we install GNU on users's computers? I think ams's GSC comes into play here, maybe ams or sdschulze could (re-)write specifications of GSC.
-3. Until we have an installer ready, we could go the Gentoo-like route, and have every part manually installed. A good installation documentation may help. Our next milestone may be just this (in case ams hasn't already done it):
- * have a good installation document out, with all the required packages hosted at gnu.org or savannah.org
- * get stowfs working
-4. Maybe try to use hacked Debian packages until we get native ones?
-5. Move on, start coding, documenting, packaging.

-The GNU stands for GNU's Not [[Unix]]. It is a project as described in [[GNU]].
-
-What can be confusing is the usage. GNU can stand for:
-
-* an entire system as envisioned in 1983. GNU/Hurd is a synonym.
-* GNU components when used with the Linux kernel: GNU/Linux This term has been adopted by the [Debian project](http://www.debian.org) but is not recognized as widely as the FSF would like.

-Setup is very easy (You need a GNU/Linux system to install GNU, we are developing an installer for GNU and if you want to help us join us on [gnu-system-discuss](http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-system-discuss)), just follow these steps ...
-
-## Step 1: Find a home for GNU
-
-create a partition with minimum of 800 MB (if you want to install programs later you might need to allocate more space)
-
-It comes with GNU Emacs 21.4, gcc 4.0, gdb 6.3, parted, wget and many more
-
-Note: 2GB limit for partitions is no more there, it is fixed
-
-## Step 2: Create GNU Hurd filesystem on the partition
-
- # mke2fs -o hurd /dev/hdd6
-
-## Step 3: Grab a snapshot of the GNU
-
-from <http://www.update.uu.se/~ams/home/slask/GNU/> or Extended GNU from <http://i-hug.sarovar.org/downloads/GNU/extended/>
-
-## Step 4: Extract the snapshot to the newly created partition
-
- # mount /dev/hdd6 /mnt
- # cd /mnt
- # tar -jxvf <path to downloaded location>/GNU--2006-01-08.tar.bz2
-
-Wait for the extraction to complete, depending on the system configuration the time varies. The compressed image is 178MB and it uncompresses to about 750MB
-
-## Step 5: Configure grub to boot GNU
-
-This can be tricky since the partition naming is different for linux, grub and hurd
-
-My configuration look like this ...
-
- title GNU (also known as GNU/Hurd)(Single user)
- root (hd0,5)
- kernel /boot/gnumach.gz root=device:hd3s6 -s
- module /hurd/ext2fs.static --multiboot-command-line=${kernel-command-line} --host-priv-port=${host-port} --device-master-port=${device-port} --exec-server-task=${exec-task} -T typed ${root} $(task-create) $(task-resume)
- module /lib/ld.so.1 /hurd/exec $(exec-task=task-create)
-
- title GNU (also known as GNU/Hurd)(Multi-user)
- root (hd0,5)
- kernel /boot/gnumach.gz root=device:hd3s6
- module /hurd/ext2fs.static --multiboot-command-line=${kernel-command-line} --host-priv-port=${host-port} --device-master-port=${device-port} --exec-server-task=${exec-task} -T typed ${root} $(task-create) $(task-resume)
- module /lib/ld.so.1 /hurd/exec $(exec-task=task-create)
-
- grub linux hurd
- hd0,5 hdd6 hd3s6
-
-If you have only one harddisk it will be hd0 for grub wherever you connect it.
-But linux and hurd names depend on whether you connect it as primary master
-(hda or hd0), primary slave (hdb or hd1) [this is my cdrom drive], secondary
- master (hdc or hd2) or secondary slave (hdd or hd3) [this is my precious
-Maxtor 2GB hard disk].
-
-The partition naming of hurd is similar to BSD slices. hda1 is hd0s1, hda2 is
- hd0s2 ...
-
-In my case the root device is hd0s6 (hdd6)
-
-## Step 6: Now boot into your brand new GNU System.
-
-It will do some initial setup and you will get a prompt.
-Now reboot into your configured GNU System.
-
- # reboot
-
-## Step 7: Start using your GNU system
-
-Here is the GNU/Hurd users guide. It starts from the basics. <http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/users-guide/using_gnuhurd.html>
-
-*Warning! : It is not yet ready for normal use, it is a developer's release.*
-
-So when you encounter bugs report it to bug-hurd@gnu.org

-## Mission
-
-"To enable the GNU System to install packages of any format like rpm, deb,
-ebuild... so that GNU System will be able to use softwares packaged by projects like Debian and Gentoo"
-
-## Features
-
-Basically all package management schemes follow similar approach, it will have a single binary archive containing the actual software and some metadata like packages it requires, what all it provides ... So when we install an rpm package this tool will help rpm tool to recognise the packages installed by stow and it will be stowed instead of the normal rpm way of installing in /usr.
-
-There can be both aproaches
-
- * Re-implement rpm, dpkg... to recognise stow as backend instead of its own data store. In that case we will have to re-implement, apt-rpm, yum ...
- * Implement a translator which reads stow and show it as an rpm data store for yum, deb data store for apt-get ...
-
-One goal is obviously choice of packaging and hence availability of more packages. Also this gives maintainers a choice to continue building packages for GNU in the format they are already familiar with. The second goal is to demonstrate the flexibility GNU offers in implementing functionality in filesystems (open/read/write interface).
-
-## Why?
-
- * The GNU Hurd provides a lot of advanced features and functionalities. We aim to exploit those features.
- * Combining translators with UnionFS gives a very exciting package manager.
- * We could use the good features of existing packaging systems like deb, rpm, ebuilds, ports ... plus unionfs and hurd translator is a compelling combination.
-
-With the increased flexibility in implementing filesystems as per the requirements, we can implement the functionality similar to apt-get, emerge or yum... (dependency tracking, versions tracking...) in the filesystem itself.
-
-## What?
-
- * Have a basic filesystem based package manager
- * Write translators to convert between GNU's packaging format and the existing one's like rpm, deb ...
-
-## How?
-
- * Installation of a package is just drag the package (be it a tgz, rpm, deb or an exe) and drop it to the package manager.
-
- * apt-cache search vim --> ls -al /packages/meta/ |grep vim
- * apt-get install vim --> install vim
-
-Just a sample script.
-
- $ cd /packages/meta/vim/current/depends
- $ for i in `ls *`
- $ do
- $ if [ -f /packages/binary/$i ]
- $ then
- $ echo "$i is installed"
- $ else
- $ install $i
- $ fi
- $ done
-
-The same can be achieved using any of the languages or front ends or even manual copying.
-
-If all the dependencies are there
-
- $ cp -r /ftp/ftp.gnu.org/packages/binary/vim/7.0 /packages/binary/vim/7.0
-
-## Implementation Details
-
-Lets take the example of rpm, it is simply a cpio archive with software and
-meta data as its contents. Just extract it to stow directory with a name
-package-version. When apt-get or yum asks for information about already
-installed packages read the stow tree and return back the requested data.
-
-Same case for ebuild. We can provide these details to any packaging system
-in the way it wants using a translator. So support for a new format is
-just writing the new translator.
-
-## Initial idea
-
-A bit more complex than the earlier scheme but it is more exciting and we can look at this scheme seriously once we have the simple scheme working.
-
-All packages are installed at
-`/packages/binary/<packagename>/<packageversion>`.
-
-For example vim 6.4 version can be installed from source like
-
- # cd vim64
- # ./configure --prefix=/packages/binary/vim/6.4
- # make
- # make install
-
-Now if you have another vim version, say 7.0 then just follow the steps
-
- # cd /packages/source/vim
- # CP /<pathtovimtarball>/vim-7.0.tar.bz2
- # tar -jxvf vim-7.0.tar.bz2
- # mv vim70 7.0
- # ./configure --prefix=/packages/binary/vim/7.0
- # make
- # make install
-
-You have 2 versions of vim and how can you specify which one is the current version? You can symlink the current version to select the version you would like to see as default
-
- # ln -s /packages/binary/vim/7.0 /packages/vim/current
-
-## Metadata: /packages/meta
-
-Dependency information is stored as a symbolic link to the required packages in a subdirectory called depends.
-
-## Requirement
-
-We will require unionfs support if we chose to go through path 2 (which is what I like because we can really show off with translators.)
-
- * Developing status - planning
- * Near term goal - implement stow backend for dpkg
- * High priority task - make unionfs work on boot. Mail from AMS to gnu-system-discuss on problem statement <http://www.mail-archive.com/gnu-system-discuss@gnu.org/msg00198.html>

-## Developer Guidelines.

-
-[Bochs](http://bochs.sf.net) is a very cool emulator, similar to Plex86 and the commercial product [[VmWare]] which virtualizes the PC hardware. However, Bochs does not virtualize, it _emulates_ the IA32 on the instruction level. It's currently the best alternative if you want to take the Hurd for a quick test drive without needing to repartition your hard drive or read complicated installation manuals.
-
-* [Debian package](http://packages.qa.debian.org/bochs)

-Somewhat:

-* The VESA driver also failed so VGA is being used.
-* more than 8 bpp won't work.
-* for some weird reason the mouse server in `/dev/mouse` doesn't respond, so the mouse is inoperative.
-* GNU is still an unstable OS which makes X crash often on it.
-
-To reconfigure it, see Distrib.Xfree86, or:
-
- dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
-

-# <a name="Setting_up_X_on_Debian_GNU_Hurd"> </a> Setting up X on Debian GNU/Hurd
-
-This is a brief helper on how to setup X-Windows on Debian GNU/Hurd.
-
-Obviously this text is taken from the page <http://hurd.gnufans.org/bin/view/Hurd/Xfree86> but I was making such drastic changes, I didn't want to hack up that page.
-
-### <a name="Mouse_amp_Keyboard"> Mouse &amp; Keyboard </a>
-
-See [[console]] for more details.
-
-You should instruct the Hurd console to repeat keyboard events to `/dev/cons/kbd`, and mouse events to `/dev/cons/mouse`:
-
- # console -d vga -d pc_kbd --repeat=kbd \
- -d pc_mouse --repeat=mouse --protocol=ps/2 -c /dev/cons /dev/vcs
-
-Symbolic links to repeaters should also be created:
-
- # ln -s /dev/cons/kbd /dev/kbd
- # ln -s /dev/cons/mouse /dev/mouse
-
-### <a name="Selecting_amp_Configuring_Packag"> Selecting &amp; Configuring Packages </a>
-
-You will need several X packages. The `x-window-system-core` brings you most of what you need:
-
-* `xserver-xfree86`
-* `xfonts-base`
-* `xfonts-100dpi`
-* `xfonts-75dpi`
-* `xfonts-scalable`
-* `xbase-clients`
-* `xutils`
-* `rxvt`
-* ... as well as your window manager of choice:
- * WindowMaker, `wmaker`
- * FVWM, `fvwm`
- * Blackbox, `blackbox`
- * TWM, `twm`
-
-I know that twm and Window Maker work, however, I cannot attest to the other two. Also, Michael Banck has a working package for xfce4 for those of you that are interested. The link for the package is here:
-
- deb http://people.debian.org/~mbanck/hurd-xfce4/ ./
-
-Thanks for that Michael!!
-
-You will probably need to create a .xsession file for xfce4 with the following command:
-
- exec /usr/bin/startxfce4 || exec xterm
-
-This will start the xfce4 desktop or dump to xterm if it fails to start.
-
-The recommended way of configuring X is using the `xserver-xfree86` debconf template, eg:
-
- # dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
-
-It may be easier to just copy a working configuration from another operating system on the same computer and place it in `/etc/X11/XF86Config-4`, but this is discouraged as you would have to remove some sections by hand.
-
-**_IMPORTANT:_** when you configure X, make sure you do **NOT** enable the `speedo` and `dri` modules because they are currently broken.
-
-**_UPDATE 12/28/2004:_** Speedo is working on mine and is currently running. I do not have DRI enabled however.
-
-### <a name="Edit_XF86Config_4"> Edit XF86Config-4 </a>
-
-Now you have to edit the file manually to ensure that the mouse sections look like this:
-
- Section "InputDevice"
- Identifier "Configured Mouse"
- Driver "mouse"
- Option "CorePointer"
- Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
- Option "Protocol" "osmouse"
- EndSection
-
- Section "InputDevice"
- Identifier "Generic Mouse"
- Driver "mouse"
- Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
- Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
- Option "Protocol" "osmouse"
- EndSection
-
-You may also enable the Emulate3Buttons option, but nothing else will work.
-
- Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
-
-**_WARNING:_** I cannot verify as of yet whether it was the "Emulate3Buttons" setting or the "ZAxisMapping" setting but I had to disable both in order to be able to move and resize windows.
-
-### <a name="Starting_X"> Starting X </a>
-
-Finally, run `startx`
-
-However, there are several caveats to be aware of:
-
-* `xterm` does not work correctly; try `rxvt`.
-
-**_UPDATE 12/28/2004_**: xterm works fine for me.
-
-* `update-menu` does not yet work. As such, there are no fine Debian menus.
-* GNOME can now be ported with the new pthreads, but is still being worked on. Window Maker, TWM, Blackbox and FVWM all work.
-
-**_WARNING:_** If you get an error about opening the display or a permissions issue, you may need to run the following:
-
- # dpkg-reconfigure xserver-common
-
-change from "Console Users Only" to "Anybody"
-
-### <a name="Miscellaneous"> Miscellaneous </a>
-
-The dillo web browser does work, though it is not the greatest browser.
-
-For you xchat lovers like me, xchat will compile if you disable the python module. (The python module causes an assertion failure in pthreads if one of you guru's wants to fix and package. **hint,hint**)

-# <a name="Setting_up_Xorg_on_Debian_GNU_Hu"> </a> Setting up Xorg on Debian GNU/Hurd
-
-This is a brief helper on how to setup Xorg on Debian GNU/Hurd.
-
-Obviously this text is taken from the page <http://hurd.gnufans.org/bin/view/Hurd/DebianX> but I was making such drastic changes, I didn't want to hack up that page.
-
-### <a name="Mouse_amp_Keyboard"> Mouse &amp; Keyboard </a>
-
-See [[console]] for more details.
-
-You should instruct the Hurd console to repeat keyboard events to `/dev/cons/kbd`, and mouse events to `/dev/cons/mouse`:
-
- # console -d vga -d pc_kbd --repeat=kbd -d generic_speaker \
- -d pc_mouse --repeat=mouse --protocol=ps/2 -c /dev/vcs
-
-Symbolic links to repeaters should also be created:
-
- # ln -s /dev/cons/kbd /dev/kbd
- # ln -s /dev/cons/mouse /dev/mouse
-
-### <a name="Selecting_amp_Configuring_Packag"> Selecting &amp; Configuring Packages </a>
-
-The `x-window-system-core` package brings you most of what you need for a base, plus you need to choose a window manager:
-
-* WindowMaker, `wmaker`
-* FVWM, `fvwm`
-* Blackbox, `blackbox`
-* TWM, `twm`
-
-I know that Window Maker works, however, I cannot attest to the others. xfce4 might be temporarily broken.
-
-The recommended way of configuring X is using the `xserver-xorg` debconf template, eg:
-
- # dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
-
-This currently seems to be broken in the Debian package so it may be easier to just copy a working configuration from another operating system on the same computer and place it in `/etc/X11/xorg.conf`. You need to edit the mouse settings by hand according to the below example, though.
-
-**_IMPORTANT:_** when you configure X, make sure you do **NOT** enable the `speedo` and `dri` modules because they are currently broken.
-
-**BDd: I cannot attest to this currently.**
-
-### <a name="Edit_xorg_conf"> Edit xorg.conf </a>
-
-If you managed to get an xorg.conf autogenerated, make sure to have the mouse section read as follows:
-
- Section "InputDevice"
- Identifier "Configured Mouse"
- Driver "mouse"
- Option "CorePointer"
- Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
- Option "Protocol" "osmouse"
- EndSection
-
-Do not set the "Emulate3Button" or "ZAxisMapping" options, they do not work and break things.
-
-Here is an example of an xorg.conf using VESA at 800x600 that works on my Dell laptop:
-
- # /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
- #
- # This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
- # values from the debconf database.
- #
- # Edit this file with caution, and see the /etc/X11/xorg.conf manual page.
- # (Type "man /etc/X11/xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
- #
- # This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
- # if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
- # package.
- #
- # If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
- # again, run the following command:
- # sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

-Items of interest during install not mentioned elsewhere include the following. Arranged in the same order as Neal Walfield's [install guide](http://web.walfield.org/papers/hurd-installation-guide/english/hurd-install-guide.html) - (link is currently broken - see below for current instructions).
-
-**_Currently, [Debian's installation instructions](http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-install) are the most up-to-date._**<br /> Note the mirrors mentioned on debian.org have no hurd iso's. The iso's can be found [Here](http://ftp.gnuab.org/pub/gnu.iso)
-
-## <a name="1_Overview_Where_we_are_going"> 1. Overview - Where we are going </a>
-
-There are currently four methods to install GNU
-
-1. Tarball - The current documentation, for the tarball method, are [Debian's installation instructions](http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-install), based on the original guide by Neal Walfield. The GNU official [installation page](http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/install.html) is the canonical reference. See [[Distrib/TarballNotesHome]] for more info.
-2. [[Distrib/BochsEmulator]] is an x86 emulator similar to the propietary [[Distrib/VmWare]] (which is not supported). See the [[Distrib/BochsEmulator]] page for more info. The Bochs project hosts a preinstalled GNU image that is periodicaly updated. You can get the latest one [here](http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=12580).
-3. [CD-ROM iso images](http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-cd) CD-ROM installs are becoming more and more popular. The CDs are based on the most current tarball at release time. See [[Distrib/CDNotesHome]] for more info.
-4. The [crosshurd](http://packages.debian.org/crosshurd/) Debian package, which can be used instead of a tarball to install the base system. This is the recommended way to proceed.
-
-* References to a `cross-install` script can nowadays be completely ignored by anyone not a maintainer. It is only used when creating a new tarball.
-
-## <a name="2_Real_Estate_or_Finding_A_Home"> 2. Real Estate or Finding A Home </a>
-
-For those who do not happen to have an available partition or an extra hard drive, this can be the longest step. In this case, we will need to repartition the hard drive. One solution is to use GNU's partition editor, Parted. It features not only basic partition editing, but also partition resizing and moving functions. It can be found at <http://www.gnu.org/software/parted>. The manual is quite complete and includes several tutorials. Also there's a frontend called [nparted](http://packages.debian.org/unstable/utils/nparted.html) to simplify usage.
-
-The Hurd can only support partition sizes of up to approximately one gigabyte; anything much larger than this will not work. This limitation is a design decision that was made several years ago in which the file system server maps the entire partition into virtual memory. As the amount of virtual memory available on an ia32 is only four gigabytes of which only two gigabytes are available to the application and, of that, a significant portion is reserved for the code, the stack and the heap, the final, maximum contiguous virtual memory area that is left is generally about one gigabyte. This limitation is scheduled to be remove. Several other items, however, currently have a slightly higher priority.
-
-Having said that, a single one gigabyte partition is more than enough for a working system. Many, however, prefer at least two partitions: one for a root partition and another for a home partition. This latter scheme is highly advised for developers interested in debugging Hurd servers.
-
-The Hurd supports several extensions to the ext2fs file system format. Foremost among these are passive translators and a fourth set of permission bits for unknown users. In order to take advantage of these features, however, the owner of the partition must be set to Hurd. `mke2fs`, unless specifically overridden on the command line, will set the owner to whatever system core it is running on. As the Hurd will diligently respect this setting, we must be careful to set this appropriately or the Hurd may fail in subtle ways. Be aware that even if a file system is owned by a particular system core, others may still use it; they just may not be able to use certain extensions.
-
-To create a file system, we use `mke2fs` and pass it `-o hurd` to designate the Hurd as the owner of the new file system. For instance:
-
- mke2fs -o hurd /dev/DEVICE
-
-**_Note:_** You may wish to add a `-b 4096` option to `mke2fs` (the default is chosen depending on the size of the partition, and the support for block size 1024 is buggy). The command to check the block size is `tune2fs -l /dev/hda9` under GNU/Linux.
-
-## <a name="3_The_Boot_Loader_Getting_GRUB"> </a> 3. The Boot Loader - Getting GRUB
-
-GRUB is the bootloader of the GNU system, and it's currently the only one that supports the multiboot standard, necessary to boot the Hurd.
-
-A word about GRUB. Unlike traditional boot loaders on the x86, such as LILO, GRUB is very powerful. It has a command line interface, bootp, dummy terminal support and a plethora of other features. In addition, it can boot most any operating system. If you have ever booted an alpha or sparc, you will understand what GRUB can do. Therefore, do not be scared: GRUB is better. You will like it. You will not go back.
-
-To find GRUB, visit <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub>. Here, there is a source tarball and a floppy image. If you choose to download the tarball, it is a normal configure, make and make install. Included is a wonderfully complete manual on how GRUB works. Read it. If, on the other hand, you choose to download the floppy image, it is sufficient to dump it to a floppy disk to get a working GRUB:
-
- dd if=grub-boot-VERSION.image of=/dev/fd0
-
-You can always install GRUB onto your hard drive at a later date.
-
-For instructions on using GRUB, see either the info documentation or the quick reference notes on this wiki:
-
-* [[GRUB]] - quick reference
-
-## <a name="4_Cross_Install_Cross_Installing"> </a> 4. Cross Install - Cross Installing GNU
-
-The recommended way to cross install the Hurd is by using the [crosshurd](http://packages.debian.org/crosshurd) Debian package. Unfortunately, it's broken right now (2003-10-10), so you'll have to use the old tarball method.
-
-Download the base system `gnu.tar.gz` from <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/hurd/contrib/robertmh/> .
-
-The tarball is setup to extract everything into the current directory. After mounting the partition and changing to the mount point, we just need to extract the archive. In the following example, we assume that the root partition is mounted on `/gnu`.
-
- cd /gnu
- tar --same-owner -xvzpf ~/gnu.tar.gz
-
-**_NOTE:_** This should NOT be confused with the `cross-install` script method. It is only used by maintainers when creating a new tarball.
-
-## <a name="5_Booting_GNU"> </a> 5. Booting GNU
-
-Now things are setup to boot GNU for the first time. Verify that the GRUB boot disk is in the drive and reboot. If all goes well, a GRUB menu will be displayed. Hit c for the GRUB command line.
-
-First, the root file system needs to be set. GRUB uses a partition nomenclature that is a bit different from either GNU or GNU/Linux: both IDE and SCSI drives are named `(hdN)`. `N` is the drive number (zero based) as reported by the BIOS. That is, GRUB makes no distinction between IDE and SCSI disks. The partitions, like the disks, are also indexed numerically from zero: `(hdN,M)`. If this sounds bad, relax: GRUB is also helpful.
-
-To determine on which file system a particular file resides, one method is to use the find command. When issued this command, GRUB searches on each file system for the specified file and prints where is was found. Here we search for the kernel, `/boot/gnumach.gz`.
-
- grub> find /boot/gnumach.gz
- (hd0,0)
-
-As we can see, GRUB is indicating that `/boot/gnumach.gz` is on `(hd0,0)`. Thus, we set the root respectively:
-
- grub> root (hd0,0)
- Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
-
-Next, GNU Mach needs to be loaded. In addition to loading the binary, at least one option, the root partition, must be specified. This will be used by the Hurd itself. As such, it must be in terms that the Hurd can understand.
-
-GNU Mach labels disks starting at zero. IDE drives are prefixed with hd, while SCSI disks are prefixed with sd. Like GNU/Linux, drives are number by their position on the controller. For instance, the primary master is `hd0` and the secondary slave is `hd3`. Partitions use the BSD slice naming convention, and append `sM` to the drive name to indicate a given partition. Note that `M` is a one, not zero, based index. The slice number is simple to calculate: just increment what you used for GRUB by one.
-
-Since the Hurd has not yet been configured, it must be run in single user mode. Adding a `-s` to the kernel command line is all that is required.
-
-Thus, continuing with the above example and assuming that the first drive in the master on the secondary controller, we would have:
-
- grub> kernel /boot/gnumach.gz root=device:hd2s1 -s
- [Multiboot-elf, ...]
-
-NOTE: If after running this command you see GRUB Error 28, according to the [GRUB Troubleshooting](http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Troubleshooting) documentation, you may need to tell grub that you have more memory by using the uppermem command. For example, if you have 256MB of RAM and running **displaymem** within GRUB shows that you have less memory than that, you can type **uppermem 262144** to tell GRUB about the additional memory.
-
-Next, the root file system server and the exec server must be loaded. This is done using GRUB's boot module capability. The parameters are the semantics by which the kernel passes some important values to the servers.
-
- grub> module /hurd/ext2fs.static \
- --multiboot-command-line=${kernel-command-line} \
- --host-priv-port=${host-port} \
- --device-master-port=${device-port} \
- --exec-server-task=${exec-task} -T typed ${root} \
- $(task-create) $(task-resume)
-
- [Multiboot-module 0x1c4000, 0x2cfe6a bytes]
- grub> module /lib/ld.so.1 /hurd/exec $(exec-task=task-create)
- [Multiboot-module 0x494000, 0x27afe bytes]
-
-**_Important:_** each module string should be asingle separate line _or_ line wrapped with a backslash at the end of each line. Remember to make sure there are **_no trailing spaces!_** Adding this to GRUB's `menu.lst` file as soon as possible is advised.
-
-Finally, GNU can be booted:
-
- grub> boot
-
-Sit back and watch the messages. This is actually more important than one might think as there is a bug in GNU Mach whereby hitting a key during the boot process causes the kernel to panic.
-
-If GNU fails to boot, it could be due to shared IRQs: GNU Mach does not play well with these. You can verify your situation by looking at, for instance, the `/proc/interrupts` file under GNU/Linux. Also, as GNU Mach does not support loadable kernel modules, many of the drivers are compiled into the default kernel. If you have old peripherals, this can be a significant problem: a device may respond badly to a probe intended for a different device. Building a new kernel with only the required devices drivers will usually solve this problem. GNU Mach is easily cross compiled. If you are running Debian, try the `gcc-i386-gnu` package.
-
-If this does not help, explore the resources listed at the end of this document. Finally, ask on the appropriate mailing list.
-
-There are some cavaets to the boot process:
-
-* **IMPORTANT!** Remember when first booting into your freshly un-tarred distribution, you must pass the `-s` option to `/boot/gnumach.gz`. Failure to do so means that you won't get single-user mode.
-* **IMPORTANT2!** Add the `--readonly` flag to the file system server in your GRUB `menu.lst` file. This is a work-around to get `fsck` working properly. Don't forget, everything must be on ONE line, or ended with a backslash!
-* **IMPORTANT3!** If you have created the filesystem with a later version of e2fsprogs than the one installed in the tarball, it **might** happen that fsck fails and you can't boot multiuser. The workaround is to copy `/bin/true` into `/sbin/e2fsck` and `/sbin/fsck.ext2`, then boot multiuser and install the latest e2fsprogs.
-
- title GNU (kernel GNUmach 1.3)
- root (hdX,Y)
- kernel /boot/gnumach.gz root=device:hdXs(Y+1)
- module /hurd/ext2fs.static --readonly \
- --multiboot-command-line=${kernel-command-line} \
- --host-priv-port=${host-port} \
- --device-master-port=${device-port} \
- --exec-server-task=${exec-task} \
- -T typed ${root} $(task-create) $(task-resume)
- module /lib/ld.so.1 /hurd/exec $(exec-task=task-create)
-
-Where `hdX,Y` is the appropriate hard disk and partition number, in GRUB format. `hdXs(Y+1)` is the GNUmach format - because Mach partitions start at 1, unlike GRUB partitions that start on 0 (zero).
-
-It is important that each module string is only a single separate line, or by escaping the EOL (end of line) with a back slash. Remember though to make sure there are **_no trailing spaces!_**
-
-**_GRUB floppy and iso images:_** These are available from <http://www.copyleft.co.nz/links.html>. These have been built with the correct strings and only the root and boot partitions names need to be editied.
-
-## <a name="6_Native_Install_Finishing_the_I"> 6. Native Install - Finishing the Installation </a>
-
-Once a prompt comes up, and any time that the the Hurd is in single user mode, it is necessary to set the terminal type:
-
- export TERM=mach
-
-(Repeat this each time you boot in single user mode)
-
-Be warned that CONTROL-C and family will not work in single user mode.
-
-We can now run the native-install script. This will configure the packages and set up several important translators:
-
- ./native-install
-
-Right before the script terminates, it will indicate that it needs to be run a second time. Follow its instructions and reboot using the reboot command. Again, go into single user mode.
-
-Now it is advisable to enable swap. The mach kernel dislikes running without swap and is unlikely to last through the installation, especially on systems with little physical RAM. Although you can enable swap later on after running `./native-install` for the second time, turning swap on early increases your probability of getting there.
-
-This will start the default pager, create a device corresponding to the swap partition, and turn swap on on that partition:
-
- /hurd/mach-defpager
- cd /dev
- ./MAKEDEV hdXsY
- swapon /dev/hdXsY
- cd /
-
-**IMPORTANT!** When enabling swap please be very sure that the partition really is swap. If you point `swapon` to a data partition it will use that for swap, overwriting any data you may have there.
-
-Now run `./native-install` for the second time and go through a series of prompts.
-
-Next, edit `/etc/fstab` to add the home partition and swap space. By default, `nano` is the only editor installed by the the base distribution (not `ae` nor `vi`). It is very important that swap space be used: the Hurd will be an order of magnitude more stable. Note that the Hurd can transparently share a swap partition with Linux, the kernel, but will happily page to any device including a raw partition such as your home partition.
-
-Here is an example `/etc/fstab` file:
-
- # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
- /dev/hd2s1 / ext2 rw 0 1
- /dev/hd2s2 /home ext2 rw 0 2
- /dev/hd2s3 none swap sw 0 0
-
-Remember to create any devices using the `MAKEDEV` command.
-
-When you first boot, your `/home` directory will _not_ be auto-mounted. You must set a passive translator on that node to access that partition. The correct syntax for this is: <br />`settrans -p /home /hurd/ext2fs /dev/hd2s2`
-
-To mount an nfs partition, use the nfs translator. When run as non-root, the translator will connect, for obvious reasons, to the nfs server on a port above 1024. For this to succeed under GNU/Linux, the insecure option must be added to the export line. Here is an example `/etc/exports` file:
-
- /home 192.168.1.2(rw,insecure)
-
-To mount this from a GNU box:
-
- settrans -cgap /home /hurd/nfs 192.168.1.1:/home
-

-
-See [[DebianAfterInstall]] for complete, up to date instructions.
-
-* After you install, you'll want to do several _important_ things:
- * Run `passwd` to give the root user a password. By default, root does not have one.
- * Run `adduser` to give yourself a user account. _Do not_ use root indiscriminately.
- * Run `MAKEDEV` to create devices in `/dev` for your hard disk and other required devices.
- * run `/etc/cron.daily/find` to allow `locate` to function.
-
-* [[GetNetworkRunning]]
- * Hopefully Mach will recognize your hardware. If it doesn't you have to recompile in most cases.
- * copy over your `/etc/resolv.conf` from GNU/Linux to allow your DNS to resolve correctly.
-
-* Prepare system for new packages.
- * See [[DebianAfterInstall]] for up to date instruction on how to setup apt-get mirrors.
- * There are some extremely useful cross-platform 'apt' tricks that can be used to get packages when using Debian GNU/Linux (possibly others) for installation on GNU. This is especially useful if your GNUMach doesn't recognize your network card. The steps are covered in the file `/usr/share/doc/apt-doc/offline` which has been used by several Hurd developers successfully.
- * create an `/etc/apt/apt.conf.offline` like [[AptConfOffline]].
- * consider setting up a few [[CrossPlatformAliases]] for use under Debian GNU/Linux while the Debian GNU/Hurd partitions are mounted.
- * select the `apt` method from within dselect.
-
-* [[Xfree86]]
-
-* New packages - Hopefully you are able to get your network working but since the default GNUMach is only configured for a few ethernet cards you may need to recompile your GNUMach to get it working with your network hardward.
- * Install these extremely useful packages
- * `dialog` -- Debconf uses this for interactivity. You should install this first to allow you to configure other packages as they are installed.
- * It's a very good idea to bring your packages up to date by running: `apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade`
- * Some recommended packages
- * `screen` -- A terminal multiplexer was important because the Hurd didn't have virtual consoles. Now you can have the [[Hurd/HurdConsole]], but screen is still handy.
- * `anacron` -- good to run cron jobs for a machine that is not on all the time.
- * `emacs21` -- a powerful editor.
- * `cvs` -- Concurrent Version System, you'll probably need this soon.
- * `bzip2, zip, unzip` -- compression tools.
- * `build-essential` -- preparing to build software.
- * `gnu-standards` -- GNU coding and package standards.
-
-* Some packages use an erroneous dependency on `libc6-dev`. This is incorrect because libc6 is specific to GNU/Linux. The corresponding package for GNU is `libc0.3-dev`. If you find a package that is uninstallable due to a `libc6[-dev]` dependency, please send a bug report with a patch that fixes it. It is important that you don't hack your package system to workaround such problems, because that way you won't be able to spot them when they arrive. See the [[Distrib/PortingIssues]] for details about the problem and [[Distrib/BtsFiling]] for details on sending bug reports.
-* Edit your `/etc/inetd.conf` and comment out all the services you don't need. Services that probably don't need to be running are `ftp`, `telnet`, `shell`, `login`, and `exec`.
-* There appears to be a bug in `libnss-db` that causes networking to fail. To work around this edit `/etc/nsswitch.conf` and remove the `db` entries. (See <http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/333/2001/1/50/4907699/> )
-

-## <a name="Licensing"> Licensing </a>
-
- This work is based on the hard work by [countless Hurd users](http://web.walfield.org/papers/hurd-installation-guide/THANKS), documented and maintained by Neal H. Walfield. See the original for both reference and its licensing at <http://web.walfield.org/papers/hurd-installation-guide/>
-
-The license for Neals work is under the [GNU GPL](http://web.walfield.org/papers/hurd-installation-guide/COPYING). However, in the Hurd Wiki license all content under the GNU FDL. (Unless the topic is mostly code or otherwise stated in the text.)
-
-There are currently issues to be resolved around this matter, as far as I understand at least. Until an agreement can be reached this text, and the unclear status of this topic, will remain. The suggestion is to do something like this:
-
-<dl>
- <dt>[[InstallGuide]]</dt>
- <dd> Neals Install Guide in its original form </dd>
- <dt>[[InstallNotes]]</dt>
- <dd> Or [[InstallGuideErrata]] with all user input and additions </dd>
-</dl>
-
-There are several obvious issues with this as I can see
-
-1. The [[InstallGuide]] must be kept editable by a select few people to avoid the current situation from repeating itself.
-2. This loops back and kicks us in the butt because then we get:
- 1. Synchronization problems with the original work
- 2. Bottle necks: The people with edit access are too busy to synchronize with Neals guide
- 3. Diverging guides
-3. Annoyed users, we break the tradition of freely editable wiki content and we also have two guides saying different things.

-## <a name="Why_not_vmware_"> Why not vmware? </a>
-
-**_Q:_** GNU won't work in [[VmWare]], it hangs when reaching the Hurd bootstrap.
-
-**_A:_** Note that Vmware is not supported software to run the Hurd on it. Reasons include:
-
-1. Vmware is not [free software](http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html), which is against our philosophy.
-2. Obtaining a licensed copy to debug it costs (at least) $300. (However, the player is "free" as in beer. This doesn't lessen the other concerns, however).
-3. Vmware's sources and specification are not publicly available, which makes debugging tasks really painful.
-4. GNU is not in [Vmware's official supported operating systems page](http://www.vmware.com/support/ws3/doc/ws32_guestos2.html#1034043).
-
-We recommend to use [free](http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) alternatives, like the [[BochsEmulator]]. Also check QEMU: [[HurdOnQEMU]].

-This is a brief helper on how to setup X-Window on GNU.

-### <a name="Mouse_amp_Keyboard"> Mouse &amp; Keyboard </a>
-
-See [[console]] for more details.
-
-First, set up the keyboard translator. Using `/hurd/kbd` and `/hurd/mouse` is not supported. You should instruct Hurd console to repeat keyboard events to `/dev/cons/kbd`, and mouse events to `/dev/cons/mouse`:
-
- # console -d vga -d pc_kbd --repeat=kbd -d generic_speaker \
- -d pc_mouse --repeat=mouse --protocol=ps/2 --console-node=/dev/cons /dev/vcs
-
-Symbolic links to repeaters should be created too:
-
- # ln -s /dev/cons/kbd /dev
- # ln -s /dev/cons/mouse /dev
-
-### <a name="Selecting_amp_Configuring_Packag"> Selecting &amp; Configuring Packages </a>
-
-You will need several X packages. The `x-window-system-core` brings you most of what you need:
-
-* `xserver-xfree86`
-* `xfonts-base`
-* `xfonts-100dpi`
-* `xfonts-75dpi`
-* `xfonts-scalable`
-* `xbase-clients`
-* `xutils`
-* `rxvt`
-* ... as well as your window manager of choice:
- * WindowMaker, `wmaker`
- * FVWM, `fvwm`
- * Blackbox, `blackbox`
- * TWM, `twm`
-
-The recommended way of configuring X is using the `xserver-xfree86` debconf template, eg:
-
- # dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
-
-It may be easier to just copy a working configuration from another operation system on the same computer and place it in `/etc/X11/XF86Config-4`, but this is discouraged as you would have to remove some sections by hand.
-
-**_IMPORTANT:_** when you configure X, make sure you do **NOT** enable the `speedo` and `dri` modules because they are currently broken.
-
-### <a name="Edit_XF86Config_4"> Edit XF86Config-4 </a>
-
-Now you have to edit the file manually to ensure that the mouse sections look like this:
-
- Section "InputDevice"
- Identifier "Configured Mouse"
- Driver "mouse"
- Option "CorePointer"
- Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
- Option "Protocol" "osmouse"
- EndSection
-
- Section "InputDevice"
- Identifier "Generic Mouse"
- Driver "mouse"
- Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
- Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
- Option "Protocol" "osmouse"
- EndSection
-
-You may also enable the Emulate3Buttons option, but nothing else will work.
-
- Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
-
-### <a name="Starting_X"> Starting X </a>
-
-Finally, run
-
-`startx`
-
-However, there are several caveats to be aware of:
-
-* `xterm` does not work correctly; try `rxvt`.
-* `update-menu` does not yet work. As such, there are no fine Debian menus.
-* GNOME can now be ported with the new pthreads, but is still being worked on. [[WindowMaker]], [[TWM]], [[Blackbox]] and [[FVWM]] all work.
